The community of the inhabitants of the village of Takona in the Oxyrhynchite nome, through us, Ioannes son of Patbos and Nilas son of Serenos, who also undertake for the will of the other fellow villagers, to Aurelius Anouphios son of Theodoros, through you, his father Theodoros son of Megalos also called Didymos, from the city of the Oxyrhynchites, nomikarios, greetings. Since the cycle [...] that we should name the nomikarios according to the proportion falling upon our village, having come together and agreed with one mind, we have named you, the aforesaid Anouphios, through your father Theodoros, for the twelfth and thirteenth indictions, to the same post and charge of nomikarios, on condition that you remain and obey in the same duty of nomikarios and in no way abandon it; and it was agreed and resolved that we shall provide you each year, as stated, for the twelfth and thirteenth indictions, by way of wages, apart from the so-called subsidy (epikouria), 26 gold solidi, so that you may answer to the public authorities and do whatever pertains to the nomikarios and render every account on our behalf according to the share falling to us, and in no way abandon it. And for your security we have made this nomination for you, which is valid, written in a single copy, and in answer to the formal question we have assented. † We, Aurelii Ioannes son of Patbos and Neilas son of Serenos, the aforesaid, also undertaking for the will of the other fellow villagers, have made the nomination of the nomikarios, and everything written herein is agreed by us as stated above. I, Aurelius Germanos son of Ioannes, having been asked, wrote on their behalf since they do not know letters.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
